Economics...American Government...Environmental Concerns

Our group discussed the common characteristics of our individual classes. We all gave a sysnopsis of our curriculum to one another so that we would have a better understanding of what it was that was being taught. We will be attempting to implement some of the main ideas from the other courses into our own course. For example, enviro discusses clean air regulations and automobile emission standards and oil dependency, government discusses the power that the government has to regulate such issues as a sovereign country. In economics they cover topics like tax codes, the SEC, and the overall status of the economy, which in government is one of the major purposes of our government, the balance between free enterprise and government influence which leads to a mixed market.

In regards to curriculum we discussed the importance of key vocabulary associated with each of our units. We also compared the differences between our curriculum maps and our student learning maps as it relates to vocabulary.
